Accommodation Tips: Here’s WHY and HOW!
11 Reasons a Localized Search is Important to You:
  • If arriving at the ‘right’ vacation rental means a lot to you.
  • If your vacation dollars are hard earned and you don’t want to waste a penny.
  • If online review sites are offering confusing and conflicting reports based on individual preferences and perspectives. Many things may change from one traveler’s experience to the next such as property management, surrounding area construction, views, etc.
  • If you want to be sure the owner/manager is asking a fair market price for the property.
  • If you’ve been disappointed with vacation rentals in the past.
  • If you don’t know for sure that the pictures provided and the description are accurate. (Also known as SNAD: Significantly Not As Described. Read more about this under the link titled ‘Accommodation Nightmares’)
  • If you’re not certain the property actually exists!
  • If you have no idea about the location or where you’ll be landing.
  • If you are a very discerning traveler with particular needs and high expectations.
  • If your vacation time includes resting, entertaining, and enjoying being at your vacation home.
  • If you want additional assurance regarding your choice.

Here's Why You End Up With the WRONG Vacation Rental

Here are a few of the many reasons why you might end up with the WRONG vacation rental:
  • The owner isn’t objective. It doesn’t mean they are intentionally being misleading. Consider that they are like a parent with a child- sometimes they just don’t see the condo for what it really is!
  • It might have been a lovely, clean, modern condo five years ago but after one thousand visitors, it is worn and dirty. It no longer looks at all like the photos posted on the sellers site.
  • With our current fragile economy, some rental owners/managers become desperate to fill their calendars and are not forthcoming about the details. Although they are not necessarily lying to you, they may be ‘dishonest by omission’ - such as forgetting to mention the highway is right next to your bedroom or the pest control problem they are having.
  • If you are checking out online travel sites with reviews posted, you’ll notice that the reviews are always varied (and maybe some are not authentic). These reviews can be very misleading. It’s true that one person’s paradise is another’s worst nightmare!
  • It is not the norm, but vacation rental scams do exist. The property you pay for might not even exist!
  • You might not know all the right questions to ask. Often you will think of the right questions after the fact: "Oh, I wish I had asked the actual distance to the beach when the landlord said it was ‘walking distance’. If I had, I wouldn’t be walking eight blocks uphill everyday!”
  • Sadly, on occasion, the folks responsible for the property are not customer service oriented and really don’t care about your happiness.
